Contested divorce

Does petitioner (in case my wife) should also be present in case of contested divorce for divorce to be granted. The case is in LB nagar, Hyderabad and my understanding is that the judge is not granting  divorce if both parties not present, especially when there are children responsibilties.

ur wife need not present in court on each date as her lawyer can appear and conduct case. she has to be present in court only for evidence.

She have to present on evidences only. Being responsible for children is a different matter. if you dont want to give divorce her ,than engage a good lawyer to contest her divorce petition. in my personal view when wife wants divorce men should let her go. 13b .

you have not told why judge is asking an appearance of your wife 

normal practice parties presence is required only at the time of evidences and in when ever the case is coming for hearing lawyer will take and represent and for children you have no explained it

Yes, you need to be present

Generally, in family courts the presiding judicial officers will insist the presence of both the parties to the case on each and every hearing so that the both are in the knowledge of the proceeding directly  paving way  for mediation and reconciliation.  This being a contested case, what is your botheration if the judge draws an adverse inference to her absence?, you concentrate on your case.
